Why Get Cosmetic Dentistry?

When people think about cosmetic dentistry, they’re usually focused on the aesthetic value. And aesthetics are a large component of cosmetic dentistry. When you have cosmetic issues with your smile, it may cause you to want to hide your teeth.

You shouldn’t be worried about the appearance of your smile when you’re talking and laughing in public. Cosmetic dentistry gives you back self-confidence in your smile.

But cosmetic dentistry doesn’t just take care of aesthetics. Many cosmetic problems have an underlying cause that can impact your oral health. With cosmetic treatment, we aim to treat this root cause, helping both the look and function of your smile. One of the prime examples of this is crooked teeth. They’re one of the most common cosmetic problems we see in our office.

Crooked teeth are obviously an aesthetic problem. But they contain underlying issues, too. Crooked teeth are much harder to clean than straight teeth. Plaque and tartar build up in these little areas that you can’t quite reach. If you aren’t able to clean it, bacteria and debris continue to build up, causing tooth decay and gum disease.

They also contribute to an uneven bite. Your jaw and teeth are designed so that the pressure and stress of a bite is evenly distributed throughout the smile. With crooked teeth, some teeth take on more pressure than they’re supposed to. These teeth wear down faster, and some may even chip or crack under the pressure.

Lastly, an uneven bite is a big factor in developing TMJ disorders. The jaw is in an unnatural position and the disc that allows it to track smoothly starts to wear down. You experience pain and headaches, and may hear your jaw popping and clicking when you use it. More severe side effects include issues with jaw functionality and being unable to open or close your mouth.

When we treat crooked teeth, we’re helping all of these issues.
